Yeah, the guide requirement thing has a number of absurd components to it. WY requires a guide to hunt wilderness areas if you are a nonresident. As a resident I can easily get a permit to guide a nonresident friend on wilderness areas but I can't charge for it unless I am a licensed guide/outfitter.
A good friend of mine moved to ND a few years ago from WY to take a job. He lived his whole life here and knows the wilderness areas as well as anyone but his residency is now ND so he can't hunt wilderness areas here without a guide.

Whatever.......
